    We're birds of a feather, public relations and small business. Wonderfully compatible and a perfect fit. Usually makes it easy to commit resources to small business success.

    But, sometimes I wonder about those small businesses that ignore the perceptions and behaviors of the key audiences with the most immediate impact on their businesses - the very people who hold the future of that small business in their hands!

    To me, it's a matter of dollars and cents, even of survival!
